"Moi? Non!"

A week before The EPA disastrously leaked millions of gallons of toxic waste into The Animas River in Colorado, this letter to the editor was published in The Silverton Standard & The Miner local newspaper, authored by a retired geologist detailing verbatim, how EPA would foul the Animas River on purpose in order to secure superfund money...

BUMP
Thanks. Posting this on my Facebook.
Also sending it to Drudge. This needs to go viral.
Holly cow Batman. That means the EPA really are terrorist.
Is anybody genuinely surprised at this ...uh...possibility?
I think not.
Ayn Rand was an optimist; George Orwell was a realist.
Mike Rosen read this letter before the top of the hour. Took one call and moved on to a guest. Shame that.
Yes.
>> Shame that
Established precedent then extends the applicability of cited legislation and lowers the cost successive claims. Property owners gradually lose their ability to finance the cost of com¬pliance or legal resistance. Absent a profitable use, the market value of the target use approaches zero. After repeated exercise of external con¬trols, pur¬chase of the residual asset value concludes any remaining claim by an owner.
When a rival owner produces a competing or substitute good, the financial advantages of such tacit property acquisitions can be enormous. For example, if a developer funded public concerns about the negatively valued transfor¬mation products of farming to render the use of farmland non-economic and ripe for development, the land becomes less expensive to purchase.
This politically-sponsored dissolution of the Separation of Powers Principle, combines all three branches of government into one, that can derive power and funding by manufacturing claims on the use of property. The more exter¬nalities are regulated, the more power accrues to the agency to control the use of the producing asset to turn its use to corrupt purpose. When agency control is sufficient to alienate the interest of the agent from the democratic majority, the asset has then degenerated into a socialized commons.
The claims by which a commons is socialized are ironically often the same precedents as were used to extend the original democratic claim; i.e., by ex¬tending claims against the transformation products of the democratic use of the resource. With the legal precedents in place that were used to take control of the factors of production on individual property, the civic agent now has the legal tools to take control of ALL related private property. Control of the use of land is now in the hands of an agency that is alienated from accountability to the public claim for healthy ecosystem function. The agency instead serves the limited interests of the politically dominant, who use the power of government to gain de facto control of ALL factors of production.
History teaches that this is not a good thing.
A socialized commons is an evil to the environment because the resource is under a controlling agent with no structural motive to prevent or eliminate ecological problems. Quite the contrary, civic management of the environ¬ment not only doesn’t work, it has every reason not to work. As eco¬logical problems worsen and resulting economic crises deepen, the power acceded to government agencies expands!
Commons are factor inputs to all economic goods. The power to socialize commons by regulation is the power to transfer control of ALL factors of production to government.
Yes, I remember! I pinged you first, remembering all the times you told all of us that we needed to sue these people under the RICO statutes, but I don’t think it ever got done, sadly.
“There are too many untouchable bureaucrats who believe they are above the law and can do anything they want.”
Who will step up and show them different?
I watched Beck for a while. Thought he was a little loony, but what got me was how emotional he always seemed to get. So I stopped watching. But, man o man, he did seem to be on the right track with a lot of his stuff back in his Fox days. All of this, obama wanting to forcefully integrate neighborhoods..all seem to be part of that Agenda 21 crap he talked about years ago.
The Navajos will get a zillion dollars out of a high-study area, too. And lawyers to sue the mining companies, too. It will bring a lot of money to the res. Hope this geologist goes public and stays there. This was a chilling letter.
I have wondered that also.
Of course, they caused a huge amount of damage that will probably lead to long term health issues, businesses closing, and depopulation of the affected area.
But they get their funding.
When are we going to say enough. This sludge will make it’s way down to my County. The war on the West is ongoing...it never ends. Just when you’re done with one fight, they’re waging another. What they want is complete domination..and they are winning.
Now they are trying to stop hunting and the fight goes on. Now this sludge is heading our way. It's all a plan to bring the West to its knees.
Please help us in our fight to take back our public lands. It's really our only hope. You can get all the information at
